From automotive and aerospace to engineering and construction, metals companies have provided the essential materials that make up the world around us for decades.

The mining industry is in a period of profound change. The energy transition and broader sustainability and corporate responsibility considerations are front-of-mind with investors, customers, employees, governments and local communities, and are having an intense impact on the mining industry.
